Default Re: Performance Trans Module Software Upgrade

I have had the Speedriven trans module in my car for about a month now. I am very pleased with the preformance. It shifts quicker and firmer and the throttle response imediatly upon the shift is awsome. I could really tell how aggressive it was the first time I drove it just a bit aggressivly in the rain. My response was to NOT drive it aggressively in the rain. It never occured to me to change to the W mode. I will have to try that.

The down shifts can be very firm when you are pushing the car. This can help balance the car when the timing is right. You will really like the quick firm up shifts and instant throttlle response. I had it at the recent Dragon and coupled with the paddle shifters and the wavetrac my car was predictable and tons of fun to drive. Much easier to control the weight of the car into the turns and it was blasting out of the turns.

I told Rudy last week he better come up with a price for this because he was not getting it back. Before I was about 20% manual shifting vrs 80% auto. Now I am about 80% manual to 20% auto. Of course you still feel it working in full auto but the paddle shifters make it just too much fun to quit.
